Been taking tentative steps into real life I always wondered what it'd feel like Sweet ex-girlfriend, we met such a sad end Watched you drive away down Ivy through my tears I never hurt so much before or since You confirmed all of my darkest fears I knew then I wasn't ready for prime time And I guess I've never been ready for real life That's why I've wanted you back at my side You could've jetted me back to the old lies You could've draped the wool back over my eyes But now that you're getting married in real life I've got to straighten up and fly right I've got to be the sweet friend in your mind's eye I've got to trust you just this one time Sweet ex-girlfriend, we met such a sad end Watched you drive away down Ivy through my tears I never hurt so much before or since You confirmed all of my darkest fears I knew then I wasn't ready for prime time But now I believe that I'm ready for real life And I'm not gonna let you down this time I think I'm finally ready for real life 'Cause I want to call you a friend of mine Been taking tentative steps into real life I always wondered what it'd feel like Sweet ex-girlfriend, we met such a sad end Watched you drive away down Ivy through my tears I never hurt so much before or since You confirmed all of my darkest fears

Spending time dead I've been on a little deadcation Filming on location In the state of desperation Spending time dead And lacking the motivation To even complete the application For a visa to leave my head A free trip to Austin Seemed like such a bargain My folks even pitched in Feels like I'm still recovering 'Twas the best time I ever had But somehow my overzealous timekeeping services Couldn't stop me falling back down to my knees again And that's just where I've been Spending time dead On a little deadcation Riding back & forth from station to station Searching in vain for inspiration Still I can't say I regret Pledging my sword to the young master Trying to get his regime installed faster Trying to be the brother and the fan I wish I'd had And accepting a free trip to Austin When it seemed like such a bargain My folks even pitched in Feels like I'm still recovering 'Twas the best time I ever had But somehow my overzealous timekeeping services Couldn't stop me falling back down on my knees again And that's just where I've been But I've got to get up again I'm going back to Austin, gonna pay my own way Gonna let the chips fall wherever they may I know there's more to life Than pounding on the skins Carrying the water for the leader Of a histrionic hipster clan A free trip to Austin Seemed like such a bargain My folks even pitched in Feels like I'm still recovering From the best time I ever had

I'm still out of my mind Maybe that's just life Maybe it's just who I am Too bad I can't get born again Can't get born again I can't get over you Whoever I'm referring to I can't forget your face I can't remember your embrace I can't forget your face Can't remember your embrace Can't remember your em- -brace yourself, we are going Down to Earth, it is happening Now or never, I can't de- c/side by side, let's hide Thought someday I might grow up Too bad that concept's made-up By people who are old So they can be in control So we'll put them in control Well as for me, I'm always gonna be right here Day-in day-out & year after year I guess I'm always gonna have my doubts So I might as well spit 'em out I'm always gonna have my doubts I might as well spit 'em Out of strikes, sit down, ride the pine You got a lot to think about You're on timeout Brace yourself, we are going Down to Earth, it is happening Now or never, I can't de- c/side by side, let's hide Side by side, let's hide

I can't imagine that I'll never get to fuck you After all the years of sex I turned down The other dollies were always longshots at best But one screw from you seemed like a pretty safe bet And I'd have followed you to Portland or Prague I would've given up and gotten a real job I can't imagine how I'll ever get to fuck you Finally got free, then you shot me down So I wrote this searing masterpiece, so what's new? When will the comfort I seek ever be found? I'd gladly follow it to Portland or Prague I'd fertilize an egg or two and get a real job Do you imagine that I'll ever get to fuck you? Do you imagine that I'll ever get to? I can't imagine that I'll never get to fuck you Yet I can't imagine how I'll ever get to

I guess every man's a method actor in his way But we're all only extras when the world's our stage If you really want a speaking part you better read off the page We'll call ya, babe We'll call ya, babe So you're gonna be a method actor? Son, that's great Just don't rule out turning down a role someday You're gonna have to play yourself to promote every play Anyway, anyway Anyway In the sweet chokehold of hindsight How you strive in vain towards the truth that's plain Where blobs obscured by spotlights Devour and validate your pain And this arc is only madness When you start to deconstruct it When you inhabit it, you're fine Until you believe it, no one else will So immerse yourself in it like a language till You start dreaming in it, then go on & try to make the dream will I bet you will Bet you will If you want to be a method actor, that's okay But remember to retire before you waste away You're gonna have to get right with you or one of these sunny days There's gonna be hell to pay Hell to pay, hell to pay, hell to pay In the sweet chokehold of hindsight How you strive in vain towards the truth that's plain Where blobs obscured by spotlights Devour and validate your pain And this arc is only madness When you start to deconstruct it When you inhabit it, you're fine

We made each other so much better lovers But we don't get to reap the benefits I know you want to be happy, and you should be Hope you always will be, with or without me I know you're not angry, just in love with somebody Who happens to be not me, and that drives me crazy You know the last five years have been quite the shit show If they'd been alright, maybe I could forget you Got three-fifths of a lifetime to figure it out though Why I let you go… We made each other so much better lovers But we don't get to reap the benefits From hand to mouth we really helped each other Out from underneath the innocence You know the last five years have been quite the shit show If they'd been alright, maybe I could forget you Got three-fifths of a lifetime to figure it out though Why I let you go… I only want to be happy, don't wanna give you no more grief Don't wanna cause no scene at your wedding Lasso up my friends, say, "Come on, we're leaving She crossed the red line, now you're all all mine 'Cause she moved on with her life--how could she? Can't she understand how inconvenient that is for me? Doesn't she know I want her more than anything Now that she's let me go? I want to make a toast: We made each other so much better lovers The blushing groom now reaps the benefits From hand to mouth we really helped each other Out from underneath the innocence."

I'm sorry I'm an older guy An older guy than last time Don't have as many years to spare now This love's been quite the pastime It's aged my heart, it's aged my face It's kept me in this awful place I'm sorry if my bright blue eyes Lost some shine since last time You reel 'em in, you bug 'em out again You always make such fast time So let them leak, what's a few more weeks? So let them burn and drench my cheeks Couching my anger in song after song Am I in danger of becoming a stranger to all? Forking it over for others to embellish And take credit for what haunts me evermore Well lucky you, you're older too Not half as blue as last time There's nothing left for you and me to do 'Cept maybe talk it through one last time It's wrecked my body and my soul Just knowing you're in full control

are you making it count? there's nothing else worth worrying about 'cause you'll only ever be right here, right now so just make it count, make it count till you're making it count nobody's gonna come along & fish you out and time ain't gonna bring you anything but doubt so just spit it out, make it count, spit it out freewheeling young lovers, beaming expectant mothers those, these & the others will all conspire to bother you till you will just make it count

Business 03:04
glimpsed you through the double-wall on a barren stage never got my bearings in the golden age but you were always so easy to talk to and you're the only one who seemed to get my songs and i always really liked you always hoped that there would come a time when i could throw my arms around you and you'd teach me how to read your mind the way i practically begged you to read mine seems to me we synched up when you come along looking back, guess i became the man i thought you'd want you made it seem so easy to please you you made me feel as if i could do no wrong and i always really liked you always hoped that there would come a time when i could throw my arms around you and you'd teach me how to read your mind the way i practically begged you to read mine yeah i always really liked you and i swore i saw between the lines that someday we'd surely start anew get down to business and our real lives where i would be yours and you mine took to writing songs without a subtle touch took to sharing just a little bit too much working so hard to make you snap to as though a song has fuck-all to do with real life to this day i really like you and hold out hope there's gonna come a time when i can throw my arms around you and you'll teach me how to read your mind although you never even needed to read mine yeah i always really liked you and i swore i saw between the lines that someday we'd surely start anew get down to business and our real lives where i would be yours and you mine
